The 2024/25 campaign will begin for both teams on Saturday 17 August with respective trips to Liverpool and Leeds United.
It’s been a busy summer for both squads who travelled to Portugal for a pre-season training camp where their new Lead Coaches also instructed them for the first time.
Ben Wilkinson made the step up to the EDS Lead Coach after two seasons in charge of the Under-18s.
In turn, German coach Oliver Reiss was appointed Lead Coach of the Under-18s after a 17-year stint at Hertha Berlin’s Academy.
Below is all the information fans need on both teams including kick-off times, dates* and what content will be available
EDS FIXTURES
Liverpool v City | Saturday 17 August, 14:00 (UK) | Premier League 2
Wilkinson’s young Premier League 2 squad will be on the road throughout August in two competitions.
First up, our season begins with a trip to Liverpool with kick-off scheduled for 14:00 (UK) on Saturday 17 August.
We faced the young Reds on the road last campaign and suffered a 2-0 defeat in the newly formatted league.
But Wilkinson’s new squad will be looking to perform better in the opening game.
Chesterfield v City | Tuesday 20 August, 19:00 (UK) | EFL Trophy
Then, we travel to Chesterfield, the National League champions, for City’s first game of our EFL Trophy journey.
Derby v City | Friday 23 August, 19:00 (UK) | Premier League 2
On the road once again, City travel to Derby with fixtures already coming thick and fast in the Premier League 2.
Last season’s identical fixture was end-to-end but our opponents were the ones to come out on top with a 4-2 win.
Grimsby v City | Tuesday 27 August, 19:30 (UK) | EFL Trophy
And the month will be rounded off with our second EFL Trophy group stage fixture.
City take on Grimsby at Blundell Park for a second successive season.
Last campaign, City ran out winners after 4-6 penalty shoot-out triumph in front of just over 1,000 fans, a highlight of the campaign for the EDS.
